Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an Accommodation that you booked through our Platform if you stayed there or if you arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise in detecting fake reviews submitted to our Platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include 'hate speech', discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, and the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

New ZealandOnly thing that would improve the unit would be air conditioning.
Our two-bedroom unit was spacious and suited our group. The unit was very clean with a well-equipped kitchen perfect for eating a meal in the unit. The sitting area was quite spacious with comfortable seating and a good TV. Although we arrived quite late this was no problem. We appreciated that the unit was cleaned daily. The motel is easy to access off a main road with a short distance to the many activities in the area. The hosts went out of their way on our departure and returned an item we had left behind. I would definitely stay in this motel again.

New ZealandThere were quite a few ants in our room, mainly in the kitchen. The air freshener makes the toilets smell like a urinal cake.
Location is excellent and it was good value for money for a 2 bedroom unit in Paihia.

New ZealandWas very basic so first impression I was disappointed especially bearing in mind was $410 per night. However as progressed through our stay, got used to it and was good for our stay. In terms of price we were there at peak season and is $100 per night cheaper in February. Bed was a bit soft for us but that is our preference. Had to ask for beds to be made even though told serviced each day. Note did not want change of sheets just to be made. Very basic small Kitchenette. Ok just for breakfast but could not really cook a meal there. They do have a bbq though
Friendly welcome, plenty of room. Great location easy walk to beach and village. Lovely swimming pool. Very clean. Water tasted disgusting, pahia issue not motel, and they provided large bottle water where you could fill your bottles. Very quiet. Rang when I had forgotten my handbag.

United KingdomThe road noise was noticeable but inevitable, being situated on the main route in. It wasnt a major issue. The swimming pool was very small, maybe suitable for cooling off, perhaps a kids play pool..
It was a short walk along the coast road to Pahia centre. Good restaurants along the way. The room was clean, spacious and the bed was comfortable. There was some seating outside on a private balcony. It met our requirements for a 2 night base.
